1989 Volkswagen Golf GTI MARK 2 3 DR 8V

motodrome offer this 1989 VW Golf GTi mark 2 8v 3dr, finished in Helios Blue metallic with grey cloth sports trim.

A nailed-on modern classic, and getting hard to find in good, unmolested shape these days.

Specification wise it’s standard late small bumper mk2 GTi 8v, so it has manual sunroof, wind up windows, and trip computer.

Apart from a more modern stereo, a front strut brace, and slightly later wheels (we have the originals (with tyres) that will come with it, it seems to be to largely original specification, which is a rarity in itself these days. The only exterior difference I can note is the 2-headlamp grille

Odometer reading 137000 miles.

History wise, we have the original book pack and service book, with 19 stamps in it, old MOT’s back to 1995, and a very large sheaf of bills.

In January 2025, at 135143 miles, it was treated to a full service, new clutch, new cambelt, new rear discs and pads, new rear wheel bearings, and new exhaust rubbers.

Comes with 12M MOT on sale, and 6 months warranty too

On test it performed without fault, which is a testament to both VW’s build quality and the care of previous owners. Most of these, if not restored, feel baggy, rattly, and blunt. Not this one.

A rare opportunity to acquire one of these iconic hot hatches, that hasn’t previously fallen into disrepair or the hands of boy racers, but has been carefully owned and cherished.

On our own website, you’ll find our usual two videos: a walkaround appraisal, and driving impressions, which form part of the description.
